The Dog Peter.

Thousands of the people of Los An
geles know the brave, quaint little un-
pretentious Scotch terrier dog Peter,
that was raised in the HERALD Office.
The advent of Peter on the theatre of
life was romantic. In the rear of the
press room, one morning about six
wears ago, some of the HERALD COM
positors discovered very small puppy
gnawing his way out of II gunny sack,
in which he had been tied up and left
to die. The printers so much ad-
mired the energy and pluck Of
the tiny creature that they took
him in and cared for him with
great tenderness till he became able
to fight the battle of life.
He soon became known as a lion
hearted and faithful dog, with great
knowledge and desire to show him
self Watchdog.
For several years he amused the
people of this city by bis peculiar
gymnastic feats, till he became so
Jealous in guarding the HERALD staff
in the nighttime that his zeal outran
his Judgment and his polished teeth
were used in a manner most disagree
able to pedestrians who aere out late
at night.
To prevent any more friction be-
tween Peter and the people he was in
vited to make heightened visit to
the Rowland strawberry rancho, west
of Compton. In that place, where
there are no fences, Peter had
ample room to guard the fruit
from the incursions of pigs,
cattle, sheep or horses, and
to see that no chickens eloped in the
night in the bosom of a coyote. This
enlarged field of usefulness was very
agreeable to Peter. He would not
touch a strawberry unless it was fed
to him by the pickers, and then a
single berry at time must be given
while he sat up on his launches to
take the crimson food.
If berries were placed on trays at
night and covered with cloth to pro-
tect them from the dew, Peter would
be SO apprehensive OF danger that he
would leave his bed and stretch him
self OH the cloth over the berries to
afford complete protection to the fruit.
The protection was complete and by
daylight the strawberries were made
into jam.
In addition to protecting the per-
sons and property on the rancho, his
latest achievement was OF different
character.
